MARKETS
Sampling the local specialities, milling around as-yet undiscovered
neighbourhoods, and chatting with the locals, this map is a guide to Dublin now.
Right now. Leave your preconceptions at the airport, because this map is bursting
with local recommendations for what to eat (a lot!), what to drink (coffee!),
and what to do (it’s called culture, baby!). Get lost in this map, and find yourself
somewhere you never knew existed…

The twin ‘R’ villages of Ranelagh and Rathmines have
a red brick charm, which is complemented by vintage
curio shops such as The 3rd Policeman and Magpie,
and even a consignment store, No. 38. Ranelagh Arts
Centre plays host to exhibitions and events, while The
MART in Rathmines hosts pop-up events, exhibitions,
and is always a hive of activity. Really under-the-radar
are the gigs in barbershop, Abner Brown’s. New coffee
spot on the scene, Grove Road Café, is definitely
worth a gander, while Ranelagh is a particularly cool
spot for food lovers, with new weekend pop-up Salt
Lick, Dillinger’s and The Butcher Grill with their
meaty joints, and TriBeCa’s infamous chicken wings finger lickin’ good!

Kilmainham to
Portobello
Dublin 8’s charms are many, stretching from the antique
shops of Francis Street to the Italo-fusion fare at The
Fumbally. The Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA)
sits in this creative area, on the majestic grounds of
the old Royal Hospital Kilmainham. The National
College of Art and Design (NCAD) is in the area as
well, enhancing the arty buzz in the area. Newmarket
plays host to several weekend markets - The Brocante
Market, Fusion Sundays, and the Dublin Flea, while
you’ll also find food markets, The Dublin Co-Op and
the Green Door Market there. You’ll also find one of
the best brunches in Dublin at The Lennox, and tea
specialists Wall & Keogh sitting pretty in Portobello.

Mountains to Sea
DUBLIN
Take a walk on the cobbled side in this cultural hub,
where neighbourhood coffee joints like The Lilliput
Stores stand shoulder to shoulder with intimate gig/
exhibition venues such as The Joinery. Great food
spots are in abundance, from café-restaurant Slice to
the sublime gastro-pub L. Mulligan Grocer, where
craft beers and Irish cuisine are their speciality. There
are cool, laid back bars in the area, such as the Dice
Bar and The Cobblestone, where you can unwind
after checking out a film at the architecturally splendid
Light House Cinema.
Green fields and mountains lying to the west, and the Irish sea lying to the east, a
mere half hour on a bus or train can get you out to the peace and quiet of seaside
towns such as Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey and Howth. Eat fish and chips on the
boardwalk, go for a quick dip in the sea, or even try Pure Magic’s kitesurfing if
you think you’re tough enough! The Forty Foot is an infamous bathing spot, or
The Vico is always abuzz on a sunny day. South to the city, Blackrock Market
is a jumble of stalls, and boasts a couple of great eateries, Fish Shop and Canteen.
If you venture all the way to Cabinteely, you’ll find the beautiful Urbun Café.
Learn how to play Ireland’s indigenous sports at Experience Gaelic Games or
for the more bookish, The Gutter Bookshop has a shop out in Dalkey, which
stocks beautiful editions of all the things you’ve meant to get round to reading,
but haven’t. And sure, isn’t that what holidays are about?

GETTING AROUND
Dublin is an easily navigable city by foot, or bicycle.
The Dublin Bikes scheme is city-wide, so you can
hire a ride to get you from A to B without a bother.
There is an effective integrated public transport
system, with Dublin Bus, and the tram system,
the Luas, to help you get around the city. If you’re
heading out into the city fringes, the DART train
system is reliable, inexpensive, and you might even
catch some beautiful sea views en route to your
destination. If you’re in a rush, or on a late-night trip,
hail a taxi and you’ll discover that Dublin taxi drivers
are probably the friendliest and most gregarious in
the world.
